If you want to see if you like the show, and watch episodes in the first season, I'd suggest watching The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances two part episode from season one. I was just trying to suggest an example of a better episode to watch.

Basically, if you watch Blink, Empty Child/Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, and Forest of the Dead/Silence in the Library and don't like any of them then Dr Who isn't for you.

Yeah, I was expecting much more from Moffat as show runner given how stellar his episodes were as a writer. Not that the Smith run has been bad, but it's very hit or miss, and lacks the top notch episodes of the Tennant run.

Not going to complain too much about him spending time on Sherlock though, that's one of my top 3-4 shows on TV. Just need bigger seasons of it.

I am now almost addicted to this series. Just watched season 2 and am nearly done season 3 in just these past few days.

I was worried when the new companion was black that they wouldn't go back in time much but they wrote her in to the stories pretty well without smacking you over the face with the race card (some of the racist quips were quite funny actually).

Thanks for the recommendations to start at season 2. I may eventually go back to season 1 after Tennant's run is over as the doctor just to watch it.
